Teachers, however, came to recognize that books of this type do not make the subject sufficiently attractive to pupils who are familiar with picturesque, popular applications of physics, and who are not inclined to devote the requisite time and effort to overcome the difficulties of a less alluring side of the subject. Attempts have been made to meet this vague dissatisfaction by presenting many familiar illustrations of the practical applications of physics, but with an unsatisfactory treatment of the fundamental principles on which these applications are based. As a result, pupils reached the end of their study with few definite ideas and little knowledge of the science itself. This condition was plainly so much worse than the former one that teachers, who have been drawn into the experiment, have generally preferred to return to the earlier type of book. The present volume is the result of an attempt to make a book which shall have a strong element of interest and attractiveness, and at the same time be so clear and definite in the treatment of principles that pupils may carry away from the course some useful acquisitions for daily life and a preparation for continuing the subject with success in the college or technical school. Every effort has been made to have the language of the book clear and simple.

About the Publisher
Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.
Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings. Careful attention has been made to accurately preserve the original format of each page whilst digitally enhancing the aged text.
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
